In this post, you will see a crochet clutch pattern.
This bag is just what you need for a trip to the beach bar!
This bag will go with any of your summer outfits and will compliment your beach cover-ups and swimwear.
An Easy Level Crochet Pattern
This pattern is for anyone who is an advanced beginner.
This pattern uses basic techniques, including; how to chain and single crochet.
I made the bag using Lion Brand Fast Track yarn in the color‘ Chopper grey’ (149) and some leftovers I had from a coral t-shirt yarn from Hooked Zpagetti.
Both yarns are so great to crochet with, even though the t-shirt yarn has quite a bit of stretch compared to the grey fast track yarn.
I used my size 10mm (US N/15) crochet hook, which made the bag really fast to make.

Making The Tassel
- To make the tassel decoration, cut 8 lengths of Yarn A 16″ long.
- Feed through the ring and pull it through, so the yarn is hanging loosely over the ring, then with an extra piece of yarn that measures 16″ long, wrap it around the top section of the tassel and secure it in place.
- Cut the bottom of the tassel to make the yarn strands the same length when hanging.
- Please see the photo below for reference.

Crissy Will says
Is there a video tutorial for this flap over bad? I’m not to sure where and how you put the silver rings on and the making and connecting for the strap doesn’t make to much sense to me.
Thank you

Hello Crissy,
Sorry, I don’t have a video tutorial for this bag.
The silver rings – one is placed into a stitch underneath the main bag flap – you can see in the photo that it has been fed through one of the stitches on the underside – then you can add a tassel.
The other rings/keyring clips are used for the bag straps, you can also see those in the photographs, they are placed at each end of the main long bag strap and then clipped to either side of the bag.
If you are making the wrist strap – you will need one ring and keyring clip on the strap as you can see in the photos.
I hope that helps!
Louise
